What are the other choices? <grins, ducks and runs>
IIRC Catholicism holds that these souls will go to purgatory to be
evaluated further. IOW, it's OK to be ignorant if you lived righteously,
but if some missionary came to you and gave you the word up, you better
not blow it off.
That's one of my bigger bones with c... a god who wants grovelers rather
than the righteous.
